Access Internet Services from a Centralized Location with NetWare
WebAccess
NetWare WebAccess allows administrators to set up a Web page that lets users
access multiple network resources from their Web browser. Users do not need
a Novell Client or VPN client to access to their resources. They can access
these resources on the Web from any computer with a compliant browser.
Customized content is provided through gadgets. A gadget provides access to
specific content on the network. Gadgets communicate with the appropriate
back-end system to gather the necessary data for a particular user—and users
can access it all with a single password.
For more information, see NetWare WebAccess Overview and Installation.
Manage the Network with NetWare 6
NetWare 6 includes many new utilities to help you easily and effectively
manage your network. As a network administrator, you will find that these
utilities provide you with a host of solutions to simplify, secure, and manage
your network.
Manage Your Network with NetWare Remote Manager
NetWare Remote Manager lets you use a Web browser to securely access
NetWare servers from any workstation and perform specific server
management tasks. From Remote Manager, you can monitor the health of your
servers, their processes, and CPU usage.
You can also perform common server management tasks more quickly such as
mounting and dismounting volumes, managing server connections,
configuring SET parameters, viewing the configuration of the server,
accessing files on volumes and DOS partitions, and even shutting down,
restarting, and resetting your server. Through the Console Screens applet, you
can view and run all the console screens just as though you were using the
keyboard at the server console.
